Breitenstein is a residential area in the Eltershofen district of Schwäbisch Hall in the Schwäbisch Hall district in northeast Baden-Württemberg .

Geographical location

Breitenstein lies at heights of 360– 395  m above sea level. NHN on the western edge of the Haller level down to the bend in the terrain into the valley of the Kocher , which enters the western loop of the valley a good hundred meters below and at a distance of about 700 meters past the eponymous village of the neighboring district of Gelbingen . Breitenstein lies above the valley forest on the still flat slopes that merge at the western edge of the residential area into the steep blade incision of the Eltershofer Bach , which flows into the Kocher after a short run in Gelbingen.

The living space is on the Lettenkeuper layer ( Erfurt Formation ) of the shell limestone , which is covered to a considerable extent in two upper valley basins converging towards the beginning of the edge of the Eltershofer Bach by Holocene alluvial land.

The nearest settlements are the village of Gelbingen less than 300 meters to the west, the hamlet of Erlach belonging to it about 900 meters to the northwest, the village of Eltershofen about 600 meters to the northeast and the former village of Weckrieden , now also a district, about 400 meters to the south which all belong to Schwäbisch Hall. (Distances as the crow flies from town edge to town edge.)

description

Breitenstein includes 80-100 house numbers along a good half dozen short residential streets. Because of the late foundation, there is no agriculture on site. In the middle of the residential area is the so-called EEC school, which was built by the then still independent communities of Eltershofen, Weckrieden and Gelbingen between the towns on the green meadow.

history

Breitenstein is a very young residential area, of which not a single building has already been entered either on 19th century landmarks or on a map from 1930. It was first mentioned as a place to live in 1971. About a hundred meters west of the edge of the settlement there is a small house at the exit of the Alte Steige from the L 2573 down to the Kochertal, the size and style of which must be from an older time, but none of the older maps is registered.

traffic

The north-western edge of the settlement borders on the K 2573, which descends into the Kocher valley and is a section of the Schwäbisch Hall north-east area and connects Breitenstein to the public road network. From this, opposite Breitenstein, the K 2574 leads to Erlach and, a little northeast of Breitenstein, the K 2659 to Eltershofen. A small road that is forbidden to motor vehicles leads south to Weckrieden and the Alte Steige in the Bachklinge down to Gelbingen, which is also not motorized .

The KreisVerkehr Schwäbisch Hall served weekdays a dozen times with the line 6 the route downtown Schwaebisch Hall - Gelbingen - Breitenstein - Erlach - Eltershofen - Downtown Schwäbisch Hall , part not full-length. There are also three connections on the route on Saturdays. Late on weekdays, on Saturdays, and on Sundays and public holidays, there is also sparse service from the R 23 on-call bus, which runs on longer routes.
